The first nursery kid I saw on the street got them. I did ask the [s
“Oh goody chocolate”, said the kid as he reached to snatch what I offered him, to an embarrassed parental chorus of, “ Say please and say thank you”. Neither nicety materialised from delighted single-minded junior.
.......”It’s Christmas.” I said, and went on my way.
I couldn't resist looking back. The grown-ups had happy smiles on their faces.

Nice gesture! Although I do wonder what's happened to manners these days. But now I'm beginning to sound like my mother. Or even my grandmother. Oh dear!
This kid was obviously a go-getting one Gilly. I can't think of a three year old unexpectedly being offered sweetie goodies not making a grab for them. 'Manners' to the wind.... they can come after. It's animal kingdom stuff.
Truth be told,I moved off quickly, probably too fast for the kid to say something more.
Our forefathers/mothers must have instilled some of their ethics into us, we do remember them, even if they are not proffered in the same fashion that our forefathers/mothers may have used.
What a lovely thing to do, very spontaneous, I love it!xxx
